Chapter 1314 Advancement all the way, the ‘crouching dragon and phoenix chick’ of Group C
"Oh my god, it's only been a few rounds and it's already... gone?"
"It only lasted two and a half rounds from start to finish..."
"Could someone be in a hurry to go to the toilet? This is too fast!"
"I guess people on Xizha Old Street are still confused at this moment, right?"
"Stop talking about them, even I am confused."
"Inexplicably, I feel like watching a game in Bianliang City..."
"+!"
As the game ended, looking at the viewing interface that had disappeared, the spectators gathered in the viewing area did not leave. Instead, they stayed where they were and excitedly discussed the game just now.
Just as they marveled, this knockout round of 16 to 8 ended too quickly.
Xizha Old Street, which made it all the way through the group stage and advanced to the knockout round with four wins and one loss, did not even survive the three rounds and was quickly swept out by the 2008 representative team!
This efficiency was even more fierce than when they played in the group stage yesterday. Even if they were as weak as Yuntian Palace, they could at least hold on until the end of the third round before being swept out.
Such an explosive performance made many players who had watched the Bianliang City game couldn't help but look forward to it——
After the Qiancheng Family, will the Billion Family become the second ‘legend’?
Of course, although the idea is quite good, the players in 2008 did not forget about it.
The billionaire family can achieve such crazy performance, of course, it is inseparable from their own excellent hardware strength.
But on the other hand, the overall strength of Group C also contributed a lot.
The current 2008 team is like a strong college student, while Group C is like a kindergarten with little kids running around.
Throw a college student into a kindergarten where little kids run around, and make him go full-on.
Then you can't beat the invincible hand in the kindergarten?
But if you throw him into a university campus, or even a middle school campus, it won't be that easy if the college student wants to beat him ten more times.
While the 2008 audience was happily celebrating their team's advancement to the quarterfinals, Fang Yun and everyone in the Yunxiao Club had already left their computers and gathered in the rest area.
Regarding the game with Xizha Old Street that just ended, in Ah Bai’s words, there was nothing to summarize at all, everything ended too quickly.
Even with yesterday's experience of clearing five rounds at light speed in the group stage, Ah Bai was still shocked by his team's clearance efficiency.
Damn it, how have you ever fought such a wealthy battle before?
Of course he knew that part of the reason why it ended so quickly was that his opponent was too weak.
But what is different from the ordinary audience is that as a professional, Ah Bai is aware of the subtleties and can't help but start to look forward to the future in his heart——
With the strength and execution ability that the Billion Family has shown in these two days of competition, even if it reaches Group B or even Group A, he has the confidence to compete with those top teams!
He was not dazzled by the victory, but made a judgment after careful comparison.
But again, the game is not over yet. No matter what he is thinking, he cannot delay the next game.
In this way, the audience outside the stadium excitedly discussed how far the Billion Family could go in this competition, while Fang Yun and others stayed in the club to fish for various things, and the time came to 1 pm before they knew it.
At this time, Fang Yun and others had returned to sit down in front of the computer. When the system sent the list of matches for the next round of knockout rounds, everyone immediately clicked on it to check it out.
"Lingyin Temple? Why does it feel familiar?"
Soon, when the name of the eight-to-four opponent server appeared in front of him, Master Beast raised his eyebrows and said to himself.
Hearing this, Fang Yun mobilized the memory in his mind, recalled it and nodded: "We have encountered this team before, but it was only a year or two ago..."
"Really or not, are we really old acquaintances?"
Hearing what he said, Mr. Beast was stunned for a moment, and immediately became happy when he came back to his senses.
As Fang Yun said, they had indeed encountered Lingyin Temple before, but as the representative team of Bianliang City, they were still in Group A.
At that time, Lingyin Temple still had some strength, although in the end it was still inevitable that the Bianliang City team led by Fang Yun would easily pass the level.
What they didn't expect was that a year or two later, Lingyin Temple would not advance but retreat. It could still be hanging around in Group A, but when they met again today, it had fallen to Group C...
Sprinting in the opposite direction is a yes.
However, although it was a bit unexpected, Fang Yun could understand it.
This is the characteristic of Wushentan. For most teams, upgrading is like eating shit, and downgrading is like running thin.
It’s just that the sparseness in Lingyin Temple is a bit serious...
But no matter how serious the opponent's illness is, they still essentially have Group A strength.
Therefore, facing this opponent, neither Fang Yun nor Ah Bai took it lightly. They immediately started preparing for the battle as soon as the battle list came out.
Soon, everyone gathered in the lounge.
Under Ah Bai's command, Fang Yun and others skillfully completed their respective transformations, and then checked the supplies. After confirming that everything was correct, they quietly waited for the game to begin.
While they were preparing for the match, the 2008 spectators outside the venue were gathered in the viewing area, chatting and discussing the situation of their opponents in this round.
"Lingyin Temple...how do I remember that they used to be in Group A?"
"They are from Group A. I saw them in the knockout rounds of Group A!"
"Holy shit, is it real or fake? #SHOCK"
"True than gold! This team is very strong. I didn't expect to meet them in Group C today..."
"Isn't it possible? If they really have the strength of Group A, how could they fall to Group C?"
"I guess there is something wrong within the team, but based on their experience in Group A, their strength should not be underestimated..."
"Oops! Could it be that the system detected that Brother Xianzi and the others won too quickly in the previous rounds and started to increase their intensity from this round?"
When they learned that their team was going to play Lingyin Temple in this round, the 2008 audience, who had been excited about speeding through Xizha Old Street in the previous round, suddenly panicked.
As a veteran server, Lingyin Temple's server opening time is almost synchronized with Bianliang City.
Although Lingyin Temple is not as eye-catching as Bianliang City after the server was launched, in fact, when it comes to the achievements of the Martial God Altar, it is worthy of its reputation.
In 2008 last year alone, the Lingyin Temple team reached the knockout rounds of the Wushentan Group A several times, and once even advanced directly to the semi-finals!
And their opponent in that eight-to-four round was the star-studded Zhenbao Pavilion.
Being able to win the Zhenbao Pavilion in the heyday of the first generation, based on this resume, who dares to say that Lingyin Temple is not strong?
But for such a strong team that could compete with Zhenbao Pavilion at its peak, after arriving in 2009, it seemed like it had been poisoned, and its performance continued to decline.
At the beginning of the year, they could barely hold on to the top 16 of Group A.
But it didn't take long for their status to completely deteriorate, first falling to Group B, and then falling to Group C, wandering back and forth between the two groups.
But again, as long as you participate in the competition more often, regardless of whether you have achieved results or not, facial recognition can make you a mature person in the audience's mind.
The Lingyin Temple team must have good results and qualifications.
Even though most viewers didn't pay much attention to them in 2008, it still didn't prevent some people from recognizing them at a glance.
In the crucial eight-to-four match, such a Cheng Yaojin came out, and the 2008 audience felt somewhat helpless at this time.
But despite being helpless, many people also have some expectations in their hearts.
After the crushing match against Xizha Old Street, some people couldn't help but discuss that the Billion Family already had the strength of Group A.
Just because Group A and Group C were too far apart, and because most people were afraid that the 2008 team, which had just improved, would be praised, the topic was quickly suppressed.
But I never thought that just after the topic was suppressed, I would hit a touchstone this round.
Didn’t you say that the Billion Family has the strength of Group A? Just so, let Lingyin Temple, who has played in Group A, tell you.
With this expectation, the 2008 audience stared at the screen attentively. As the time came to 1:30 in the afternoon, after the eight-to-four game started, they immediately couldn't wait to watch the game.
…
ten minutes later.
As the last player of Lingyin Temple, "Unstoppable Smile", was sent away with a basic attack from the fairy, looking at the game screen returning to normal, the 2008 audience was silent for a moment, and then exploded in an instant!
"No...that's it??"
"My family can't stand it anymore, isn't this Lingyin Temple too good?!"
"Damn it, I was almost frightened by the resume of the other person!"
"What a bad guy. Are you sure this is a team that has made it to the semi-finals of Group A??"
"After watching this game, I can only say that the Lingyin Temple that fought hard against Zhenbao Pavilion is dead, and now this Lingyin Temple only has a crippled body left..."
"I would say that they have actually done a good job. They fought hard against the Billion Family for five rounds before being wiped out. This is already the longest record against the Billion Family since the start of this Group C tournament."
"I thought it would be a strong showdown, but when I woke up, it was another massacre..."
From the start of the battle between the two teams to the end, the 2008 audience who watched the match had mixed feelings.
On the one hand, they are excited that their team has won again and successfully entered the semi-finals of the Group C knockout round with a strong attitude.
But on the other hand, everyone was greatly disappointed with the performance of the Lingyin Temple team in this match.
Before the start of the competition, the past experience of Lingyin Temple was completely revealed by someone who was interested.
After seeing their glorious resume, the 2008 audience felt worried and excited at the same time. In short, their mood was quite complicated.
But after the game, many people couldn't help but have a thought in their minds -
Is this Lingyin Temple representative team fake?
Originally, everyone thought that as a strong team that had competed in Group A, even though the Lingyin Temple team was unlucky enough to fall into Group C this year, it still had the potential to be a strong team.
After all, as the old saying goes, a broken ship still has three thousand nails.
But I never thought that as soon as the two teams started fighting, Lingyin Temple would instantly reveal its own weakness and weakness.
The offense was disorganized and the defense was full of loopholes.
If their team name were hidden and they were said to be the bottom team in Group C, many people would probably believe it.
The audience in 2008 didn't know whether the other party had such a style, or whether he was timid before encountering a billion-dollar family.
All in all, after one game, the image that the Lingyin Temple team had previously established in the hearts of the 2008 audience has completely collapsed, and if nothing else, it will be difficult to raise it up again.
As the 'murderer' who had just sent away the Lingyin Temple team, Fang Yun and the others were just like normal people, lying on their chairs and chatting in boredom.
"The team members have changed, and the style of play has also changed. I understand why Lingyin Temple was relegated."
Holding the ice cream he had just taken out of the refrigerator in his hand, Mr. Beast took a bite and said incoherently.
"really."
Ah Bai on the side also nodded when he heard this, "I have encountered Lingyin Temple before, and it definitely has more than this level of strength. Could it be that their original players ran away collectively?"
"Maybe."
After listening to the two people's speculations, Fang Yun shrugged casually.
It was not uncommon for the server team to run away in the dream, but he didn't know much about Lingyin Temple, so he couldn't speculate on this kind of thing.
But what he knew was that based on the opponent's poor performance in the eight-to-four match just now.
If internal reforms within the team are not carried out immediately, there will be a question mark as to whether we can maintain the top 16 in Group C, let alone return to Group B and Group A.
In short, after overcoming the complete paper tiger of Lingyin Temple, the current 2008 team has successfully reached the semi-finals of Group C, once again breaking the 2008 service record.
But everyone understands that this is far from their limit.
Seeing that it was still early for the semi-finals, Fang Yun thought for a while and did not chat with Beast Master and the others. Instead, he sat down in front of his computer and controlled the trumpet to watch the matches in other groups.
Except for 2008 and Lingyin Temple, the other six teams that advanced to the top eight in Group C this time are not that famous.
No, except for one.
Looking at the five people on the opposing side on the screen, and then at the Zuiwengting team, which was already somewhat suppressed as a spectator, Fang Yun held his chin in deep thought.
The team watching the match on the opposite side is none other than the Window on the World team.
Window of the World can definitely be said to be a proper ‘veteran’ server.
The district was opened in June 2004, more than half a year earlier than Fang Yun's base camp, Bianliang City.
Such an established server with no shortage of people and money would actually be relegated to Group C.
In Fang Yun's opinion, this was just like Lingyin Temple just now, which was quite surprising.
And similarly, like Lingyin Temple, Window of the World used to be a regular in Group A.
Don’t underestimate the reputation of being a regular member of Group A. You must know that Fantasy Westward Journey has as many servers as stars, and it can break through hundreds of servers and steadily enter the top 16 of Group A.
There are actually not many such servers, and any one of them can be famous.
In a mere knockout match of Group C, Fang Yun could meet Lingyin Temple and Window of the World at the same time. It was a strange experience.
Judging from the performance on the court, if nothing unexpected happens, their opponent in the final should be Window of the World.
What? You ask, why does he start looking forward to the final before the semi-finals have started?
Regarding this, Fang Yun can only say that if he can lose in Group C, he can basically consider deleting his account and reopening it.
After determining the opponent for the Group C finals, Fang Yun was not in a hurry and grabbed a bag of potato chips from Ah Bai's hand, eating and chatting while watching the game in front of him with interest. ()
